Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedOn this extra special episode, the boys lay it all on the line in a daring new two part format to analyze the problems with community, content, and discovery (on social media, Reddit, etc.) and discuss how it may differ in the near future. Then, in part 2, the boys are joined by Finn Brown (~finnem-pilbes), founder of Vienna Hypertext, a "smart-canvas for ideas" that presents an innovative vision for community and social collaboration in the Network Age. This was a spectacular conversation that offers concrete alternatives to current forms of social media and provides hope for a world in which humans use computers as social and intellectual tool—rather than the reverse. Note: While ~bichul-ritsen is an idiot who used the wrong mic for part 1, stick around for part 2 where everyone sounds squeaky clean!
